Affordable Photographer suggestions. PLEEEASE!!!!

 We're getting married Sept 2016. I was previously married & I've done the photographer shopping before, or so I thought. So much has changed! Photo albums not included, charging by hour, here's a CD for $5000 plus. I'm looking for a photographer with a photojournalistic approach, not posed JCPenny portrait studio, that doesn't cost $5000. Am I asking for the impossible? Anyone have any suggestions for a good photographer, for 7-8 hours, that includes a photo album(and not Shutterfly) and also includes a CD because apparently the days of photographers printing out and framing your pictures is unheard of anymore!
Thanks in advance!

    I used Abella Studios.  Most people prefer independent photographers, but I really liked their work so we went with them.  We had them for 12 hours and our original package included all of the images on CDs.  We then upgraded to a package after the wedding to include an album, which then we just paid the difference.

    They have open houses about once a month at their various locations.  I believe at their open houses they offer discounts if you book that night.

    I used Bernadette Marciniak Photography, and paid nowhere near 5k for a full day of coverage, second shooter, digital files of all my photos, and an album.

    We are using The Artist Group. They are very reasonable and offered a lot in the package we chose.

    Thank you everyone! I should have added we're in South Jersey, near Jersey shore and Philly. Not sure if North Jersey photographers will treck the 2-3 hours down here but I will look into your suggestions.

    Thanks!!

    It would be helpful if you could include your budget.

    I used a photographer from PA and I live all the way in North Jersey. She definitely does not have a problem with traveling.  She charged way under 4K. Her most expensive package I think is 3200 and they include the albums USB and 2 photographers and even the engagement session. She's amazing Literally looks like its out of a magazine. her website is vanessamarieblog.com

    I used Jason Rhee, he was amazing and I can't find a single thing to complain about even if I tried.  My reception was in monmouth county, I think he charged a small travel fee.  We've gotten so many compliments on the pictures and our album as well.
